Wow, amazing images and what are the chances in that area of a power failure and drifting onto the rocks at wolf rock, incredibly unlucky, just shows the danger of the seas on what are routine crossings that we take for granted.

An old Rosslare favourite Diplomat had similar problems in the same area back in February 2005. BBC report on that incident.

Seems like a long time ago, but the Mazarine is still in drydock in Falmouth. Must have been significant damage  or possibly need to fabricate some parts for repair to take this long.

(not sure but assume its still carrying its cargo)

The Mazarine left drydock in Falmouth today, amazing it's been there since July.

Those with trailers on board will be glad to get the goods delivered.
